They should have scored a couple in the first 10 minutes, but since then City have dominated and should be comfortably ahead. Their keeper has made a couple of good saves but got lucky a few other times. You could say it's been poor finishing off the back of some good football build up by City and that would be a fair assessment.
Now getting hammered. 2nd and 3rd on the break. Chambers missed a sitter at 1.0 and we end up chasing the game and getting exposed to fast moves out of defence by Blackpool. We could and should have done so much better.
That game was a joke. City can only take comfort from the other results today - some very strange upsets for the top half dozen clubs. EDIT..........and the fact the jacks lost 4-1 at home.
Now I know what the Orient manager felt like. 66% possession, 28 shots,11 on target. We should have been 2 to the good at half time at least. Very questionable defending by Lawlor in particular who is very good at driving forward but got caught out too often today. Chambers scores that header it’s a different game. We were always going to be susceptible at the back when chasing the game so it’s a false score. We’ll play worse and win. Typically their keeper makes an error when it doesn’t matter. What I will say is offensively up to the point of crossing and shooting we were good after a slow start. That was so much better than at Bolton but it just wasn’t our day. On another day like that we’ll score 4 or 5. Shooting practice all next week. Clue: don’t aim at the keeper
Too many games going this way now. Plenty of opportunities, can't find the back of the net. BBM and co need to find a solution.
Have to wait until January as these players in whatever selection the tinkerman puts out are too inconsistent, too wasteful, too lightweight, too defensively frail and too ponderous. City need a strong leader in CM
